Is Top Taric better than Support Taric?
In our Season 3 damage simulator Top Taric does 613 combo-plus-autos damage at level 18 against 1900 HP / 75 armour / 50 MR, which is +31% versus Support Taric, with 13,006 effective HP (+27%). That is a damage comparison, not a verdict: Into ranged or AP tops, and in any game where the team needed him bottom — his stun is far more valuable protecting a carry than winning a side lane.
When should I play Top Taric?
Into AD bruisers. Shatter's armour aura plus Ninja Tabi means their trade damage is halved before Imbue even heals it back. A point-and-click stun, a self-heal on Q and an armour aura on W make him one of the few Season 3 champions who simply cannot be beaten in a melee trade.
